What is the gut-hormone connection?
Research indicates that the gut-hormone axis may influence the activity of oestrogen and the amount that the amount that a woman has circulating in her body At the centre of this relationship is the estrobolome.
The estrobolome is a collection of bacteria in the gut microbiome that appears to play a role in metabolising (processing) oestrogen. The term combines "estro", relating to “estrogen”, and "bolome", which refers to the complete set of genes or genetic material of a specific group of organisms.
During a woman’s monthly cycle, oestrogen cycles up and down. Higher levels of oestrogen help our gut enzymes to work efficiently to support our digestive health. But when we transition into perimenopause, our oestrogen levels peak and trough. Therefore, the production of these enzymes is reduced, causing disruption to the bacteria in the estrobolome.
